Is it OCD or is it Perseveration? Both involve getting stuck in a loop of thoughts, feelings, and/or behaviors. However, OCD symptoms involve having an obsession and then engaging in a compulsion to reduce the anxiety associated with the obsession. OCD symptoms are distressing while perseveration can be pleasurable.

Relationship counseling can be a scary process for clients as well as clinicians. There are so many avenues to consider while wading through the often messy processes of exploring and improving our relationships that the thought of it alone can be daunting. While you may not be ready to have a seat on that couples therapy couch or sitting across from a couple, here are three sources of media that Jessi LaSalle, LPC recommends for both clinicians as well as clients who are interested in the process of relationship counseling.

Deep Brain Reorienting releases the shock that is holding your body's trauma response. Check us out to learn more.

Even though we have the best intentions, we can find ourselves actually performing compulsions for our loved ones with OCD! Ways we are actually participating in compulsions for others and thus maintaining their OCD are: Waiting for them to complete compulsions, providing reassurance, actually doing the compulsion so they don't have to get triggered, modifying family routines, or providing materials to aid in compulsions (like soap or cleaning products). Working with a therapist to gradually reduce accomodations made by family members or loved ones is best- ask your ERP trained therapist about how to go about this!

Facing trauma can be unsettling, but once you do you have the new found courage to face your next obstacle.

Join us for our DWA Mental Health Month Event!

Navigating the Intersection of Success, Mental Health and the Female Experience
Tuesday, May 7 @ 6pm

We are thrilled to partner with KDH Counseling for our May event! KD Holmes, MS, LPC, EMDR Certified & Allison Buller, PhD, LPC, NCC will facilitate this highly necessary discussion.

In the realm of today’s fast-paced world, where success is often measured by tangible achievements and milestones, it is crucial to shed light on an aspect that remains pivotal yet overshadowed – mental health. Particularly for women, who juggle various roles across personal and professional spectrums, the conversation around mental health is not only imperative but necessitates greater visibility and understanding.

The key message that we aim to convey is that mental health and success are not mutually exclusive for women. In fact, acknowledging, addressing, and prioritizing mental health is foundational to sustaining success. This talk will address women who are on a relentless ride of success, reinforcing that mental well-being is a critical component of our lives, being that you cannot give from an empty cup.

Chris brings his unique personality and style to the therapeutic experience. Therapy is nothing to be ashamed of - it doesn’t make you weak or broken. His mission is to create a safe place filled with validation, compassion, empowerment, and encouragement!
